    I'm in! I'd like to make 1 new recipe a week, whether it's a side dish, main dish, whatever.

    I like giving the kids variety. A lot of my recipes come from Taste of Home magazine/website.

    Add me to the bunch for at least 1 new recipe a week. Hubby & I are always trying new recipes and I love adapting them to what we like & cutting back on things like oil. I know it's not the first of the year but last night we made a Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, it's a keeper!
    I hope you all will share the recipes you try and if you can adding those keepers to the Village Cookbook.
    Looking forward to some great recipes!

    I will also aim for 2 new recipes per month. Since I tend to "enjoy" cooking only in bits and spurts, this should be on the interesting side! But I just have to start to make lower calorie, lower sugar healthier meals for DH and I

    I'm trying for at least one new recipe each week. I received a pressure cooker for Christmas which I really want to utilize this year along with my slow cooker.

    I'd definitely be interested in you get some tried and true pressure cooker recipes. My sister gave me one last year, and the only thing I've made in it so far is scalloped potatoes!

    Since I'm new to this, I have a question... Is this where we will post/be accountable and share our recipes or will there be a separate thread?

    I "think' that they prefer you post 'tried and true' recipes in the cookbook. One section is for untried recipes.........and another is for the ones that you have tried and liked.

    I just post what I had and will sometimes post the recipe if someone wants it. I am not going to post every recipe I try..........too much time! And I also post them here.....but not the 'preferred' way.

    My goal will be to try 4 new recipes per month or one per week. It really shouldn't be hard if I stick to trying to make more nutritious meals for my family. I am so limited in what we make now almost everything will be a new recipe. lol

    I'm going to try two new vegan or vegetarian recipes each month. I intend to try main course or side dish recipes, but since most desserts are vegetarian I might try some of these too.
